But when they moved onto the street, Ove drove a Saab 96 and Rune a Volvo 244.
After the accident Ove bought a Saab 95 so he’d have space for Sonja’s wheelchair.
That same year Rune bought a Volvo 245 to have space for a stroller.
Three years later Sonja got a more modern wheelchair and Ove bought a hatchback, a Saab 900.
Rune bought a Volvo 265 because Anita had started talking about having another child.
Then Ove bought two more Saab 900s and after that his first Saab 9000.
Rune bought a Volvo 265 and eventually a Volvo 745 station wagon. But no more children came.
One evening Sonja came home and told Ove that Anita had been to the doctor.
And a week later a Volvo 740 stood parked in Rune’s garage. The sedan model.
Ove saw it when he washed his Saab. In the evening Rune found a half bottle of whiskey outside his door.
They never spoke about it. Maybe their sorrow over children that never came should have brought the two men closer.
But sorrow is unreliable in that way. When people don’t share it there’s a good chance that it will drive them apart instead.
